"At first, she's the strong one and he's the weak one. Later, they're both crazy.
Let's go crazy together, darlings!"
Bai Yugong found a man.
She was hunting in the mountains behind her home when she snatched him from a black bear's jaws. He was covered in blood, his face unrecognizable, and his injuries were horrific.
She turned him over and took a look. "If he's ugly, feed him to the wolves. If he's handsome, keep him."
As it turned out, he was almost too handsome, and far too much trouble.
Everyone in Baijia Town knew that the handsome man their clan head had brought home tried to run away every day, and got caught every day.
He ran once and was hauled back once. He ran twice and was dragged back twice, strapped to a horse.
By the time he had tried to escape one time too many, even the old man selling candy laughed at him. "Little Thirteen, stop running. The clan head says you can't get away."
Xiao Shisan really thought he couldn't escape. He also realized that he had truly fallen for Bai Yugong.
He thought that once he had recovered, he would go back for his mother, then return to the Bai family and become her live-in husband. He would settle down and spend the rest of his life that way.
Then the Nanliang army burned the town.
She fell off a cliff. He lost his voice.
Reader's guide: They're both obsessive and possessive, and equally ill. She's fierce on the outside and gentle within; he's soft on the outside and mad within. Neither of them should judge the other.
Theme: Two imperfect people can make a perfect couple.
